myVegas

I don’t normally play Facebook games. Sure, I dabble in them. Sometimes I even find a few gems like You Don’t Know Jack. But most of the time, I focus on consoles, PC games and traditional handhelds. I was lured in to checking out myVegas for one simple thing: free stuff.

It’s one of the features that separates the social game from others. I had a chance to talk to Monty Kerr, the game guru for Play Studios, the developer of the game.

“We started on the whole concept in social games that was different,” he said. “We have a partnership with MGM Resorts International. We have an exclusive deal with them.”

What that does is let myVegas use casino properties such as Excalibur, Monte Carlo and Circus Circus in the game. It gives the title a dose of authenticity. Players won’t be messing around with knock offs of those Vegas Strip properties; they’ll be using the real deal when players create their own version of the famous thoroughfare. That’s the macrogame.
